Group management allows faculty to organize students and faculty members into groups for assignments, performance tracking, and collaboration.
There are two categories of groups:
User-Created Groups - Custom groups of students or faculty created and managed by users with faculty role, which will be covered here.
System-Generated Groups - Student cohort groups created and managed at the institution's level by the designated Cohort Manager.
Access Group Management
From the Faculty Dashboard, select Manage Groups from the main menu on the left-hand side. The Group Management page displays a list of your groups and a right-hand panel listing all users.
Faculty and student groups are distinguished by icon color:
Orange icons represent faculty groups used to share tests and collaborate with colleagues
Blue icons represent student groups used to assign tests to a set of students
Create a New Group
To create a new group, select New Group button. A pop-up window appears prompting you to select group type (Student Group or Faculty Group) and enter group name.
Newly created groups are available immediately and sync automatically to Qmax Management.
Best Practices
When creating groups, consider how you plan to organize students or faculty members throughout the academic year.
- Identify key grouping needs (e.g course groups, clinical rotations, study groups, special programs) and consider assessment schedules (eg. practice tests, remediation needs)
- Use clear, descriptive group names
- Keep membership criteria consistent across similar groups.
- Review group membership periodically to ensure it remains up to date.
